I just spent 20 minutes writing, but somehow was not logged in or something and it didn’t save!  ugh.  Here are some of the stories/comments I was writing.

• I bet I’m the only person with 2 giant Christmas trees standing in their garage.  I got a deal on trees this summer, but then realized they were too tall for my house.  Now I am attempting to sell them, but in order to do so, I needed to get a picture.  So, it’s August and I have 2 Christmas trees up in my garage.
• Lipstick question: Does your husband know how a lipstick tube works?  I didn’t know mine didn’t.  I was driving and after applying the lipstick, handed the lipstick in the up position back to him with the cap.  He didn’t realize that you have to turn it down  before putting on the cap and, well, we have a short lipstick now.    I just didn’t know some men didn’t know how that worked.
• Yeah for the internet.  I still find myself excited by the capabilities of a the internet that have changed so many things in our lives.  Years ago, not THAT long ago, we needed realtors to help us view houses for sale… now we can see so much without their help.  Same is true for car buying.  You can do so much research now without stepping foot inside a dealership.
• Have you been to the county fair?  We went earlier this week and my sister went last night.  I chuckled when she texted me, “Fair = Gross.”  I haven’t talked to her yet about it, but she is soooo right.  The question is, which part of the fair was she referencing?  The creepy dudes who run the rides that I’m sending my kids on to ride?  The stinky animals (that’s not their fault) that live in the dusty stalls?  The picnic tables where we are enjoying our “once a year fair food menu?”  I’m not sure, but my money is on the variety of people who are walking around the fairgrounds.  You see everything!  Makes for great people watching!  Even though it is a little gross, I still love going once a year.  I love exposing my kids to the animals and my son loves the rides.  Though I could do without the creepy dudes, the variety of people and their wardrobe choices are real entertainment.  I’ll see you next year, county fair!
